And as to the rest, agree in principle, but Vardy is as much of a busted flush as Bamford, and as much use to us.

We won't be "decisive and direct" unless and until we are rid of Radrizzani, and I suspect that won't be before the next season starts.

So of the $5.97billion that Forbes say the group is worth, $5.3 would presumably be accredited to Lowy, the rest are frankly bit players, none with much more than $120m which compared to other "players" in the football club ownership market is piddly pops. So presumably Lowy will be the one to dig into his pockets.

Fact is we don't know how much money will be made available (we can make a reasonably shrewd guess that none of the minor members will devote their entire net worth to LUFC!), and probably never will. What we do know is that several key players have release clauses in their contracts that would allow for drastically reduced transfer fees now we are relegated (Rodrigo for instance, on a £3m release fee). We also know that the vultures are circling round a number of such players (Gnonto, Summerville, Koch etc) so the demand for their services is clear, the amount we might get is much less so (thanks again Victor).

No other club in the Championship faces the kind of structural upheaval we do with no manager/coach and no 1st team coaching staff, none have as little in the way of corporate infrastructure in place to make preparations for the new season viable as LUFC, no other club in the Championship has a 1st team squad that has the need for strengthening and/or outright replacement that is required at LUFC.

By any rational measure and/or assessment, LUFC is not "fit for purpose".
Very good post. IMO of course....
